Houman Fakhimi, Facebook, August 14 2017:... John Corny , Senator Roy Blunt and John McCain can you explain to the over 4,000 dead US servicemen and womens' families whose loved ones lost their lives in Iraq because you wanted to attack Saddam for supporting terror groups like MEK (photo) how you now promote the same terror group as freedom fighters in…

Marc Martinez, Daily beast, August 05 2017:... But even more troubling is the Trump administration’s embrace of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) as a legitimate external opposition. The NCRI is one of the many aliases of the Mujahideen-e Khalq, an organization that supported the seizure of the U.S. embassy in Tehran in 1979 before turning its back…

Dan Kovalik, Huffington Post (Huffpost), July 04 2017:... As the London Guardian notes, the MEK has “claimed responsibility for murdering thousands of Iranians” since 1981 (my friends in Iran put the figure of those killed at 17,000); supported the seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Iran in 1979 and the holding of the American hostages; joined Saddam Hussein in fighting Iran during the…

Iran Interlink, July 21 2017:... In Albania two new people, Siavosh Seifi and Mahmoud Mambini both with over 39 years’ membership, have run away from the MEK camp and joined other ex-members there. Some speculate that they escaped because they had reached their limit over the Villepinte event. In Albania ex-members have reported on the efforts of the MEK to infiltrate the…

Dr, Mehrdan Khonsari, Huffington Post, July 20 2017:... This sorry state of affairs descends to the ridiculous when a number of leading US political figures such as Senator John McCain, Mayor Rudi Giuliani and Ambassador John Bolton accept dubious speaking engagements and openly call for the overthrow of the Iranian regime, expressing their unswerving support for a much-despised cult organisation (the Mojahedin…

Michael Axworthy, Foreign Policy, July 18 2017:... Tillerson suggests that the Islamic Republic could be undone if the United States supports elements within Iran that want to bring about “peaceful transition.” One can only hope that he does not mean the Iranian émigré opposition group that calls itself the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), which was known originally as…

Almonitor, July 17 2017:... Meanwhile, as Fatah-Egypt relations were hitting a new low, the Palestinian Authority sent a parliamentary delegation to take part in a conference organized by the People’s Mujahedeen Organization of Iran (Mujahedeen-e-Khalq), perhaps as a sop to Saudi Arabia, upon which Abbas depends for support. Ahmad Melhem writes, “In light of the PA’s adherence to Saudi positions on most of the…

Tehran Times, July 17 2017:... Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has praised “The Midday Event”, a political drama that features the terrorist atrocity of the Mojahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO) in Iran of the 1980s. “This film was very good. Everybody played his part very well; the directing was great, the acting was very good. The plot was…

The Iranist, July 16 2017:... I don’t know how much influence the Mojahideen Al-Khalq has. One question that is asked often but has no answer is, “Where is all that money coming from?” The MEK is paying $50,000 to $100,000 for people to deliver a speech that basically preaches their message of violent overthrow of the Iranian government. We would understand…

Iran Interlink, July 14 2017:... Lebanese cleric Allameh Sayed Mohamad Ali El Husseini had acted as the chief advisor to Maryam Rajavi on Islamic and Arabic issues. He participated in many events and meetings with Rajavi and she heaped praise on him for many years. This week he came to Paris to take part in Islamic Scholars Against Terrorism week. While…

Mazda Parsi, Nejat Society, July 10 2017:... As the long-life, enraged, regional rival of the Islamic Republic, Saudi Arabia’s warm relationship with the MKO is expectable –just like its sponsorship for Takfiri groups including the ISIS. Actually,the MKO-run rallies provide an opportunity for the Saudi officials to voice their hatred and anger against Iranians. However, Turki al-Faisal’s comments should not be…

Jim Lobe, Lobelog, July 09 2017:... Putting aside the question of just how popular or unpopular Madam Rajavi is in Iran for a second, there are a number of truly remarkable things about Lieberman’s speech. How much will it help “the resistance” in Iran to be seen as supported by the Saudis and the “Arab nations?” And how will it help to boast…
